COLLOQUIUM ARTISTIC RESEARCH IN PERFORMING ARTS

Theatre Academy, Helsinki


How does artistic research change us?

Artistic research does not only produce knowledge; it also changes us as individual and collective beings – artists, pedagogues, spectators, citizens, consumers. In what ways can this kind of change be the object of research? Could the change itself serve as a criterion for the relevance of the research? We invite researchers to join the colloquium and to participate in the discussion by sharing their experiences on the transformative dimensions of their artistic research practice.

The colloquium will be organised to take account of the special features of various artistic research practices: research can realise itself in its own concrete set up; cooperative action and collective reflection can function as a means of producing knowledge; the definition of the role and place of the observers or participants in a situation can be an essential part of the research arrangements, etc. The colloquium can also serve as the site of the research itself.

The colloquium will take place over three days. On Thursday, presenters will have the possibility to hold day-long workshops for other colloquium participants and the doctoral students of the Performing Arts Research Centre. Friday and Saturday are reserved for all kinds of presentations, including the possible presentation of the workshops, and discussions.
